WHISTLEBLOWERS CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER!

Council of Europe on Whistleblowing Resolution 1729 (2010) Protection of Whistleblowers

The Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe recognises the importance of whistle-blowers – concerned individuals who sound an alarm in order to stop wrongdoings that place
fellow human beings at risk – as their actions provide an opportunity to strengthen accountability and bolster the fight against corruption and mismanagement, both in the public and private
sectors.

The entire whistleblower resolution 1729 (2010) with a lot of details and explanation
in particular matters. Swiss law is here challgened because Switzerland does not have any whistleblower protection act and whistleblowers have been notoriously found guitly in Swiss Courts!

European Court of Human Rights decided to protect whistleblower with the verdict of July 21st, 2011

In February 2008, US judge Jeffrey White shut down the ISP for the American mirror of the Website WikiLeaks. The basis for
this action was a claim by the Swiss banking group Julius Baer. On February 18, 2008, White approved an agreement between Dynadot
and Baer (an injunction based on stipulation);[1][2] this action garnered news coverage around the world.[3][4]

This order was widely criticized as both improper (prior restraint is generally prohibited by the First Amendment) and ineffective (Wikileaks' web
servers are in Sweden, and numerous mirrors exist).[5]

White vacated the injunction on February 29, 2008, citing First Amendment concerns and questions about legal jurisdiction.[6] Wikileaks was thus able to bring its site online again. The bank dropped the case on March 5, 2008.[7] The judge also denied the bank's request for an order prohibiting the website's
publication.[8]
